Hopefully, Zimmer will ride the public's tide of revulsion towards crooked and imbecilic Democrats into Congress. Isn't it time to dip into the well of Reagan/Bush optimism and start working for a Congressional upset like 2002 and 2004? The glass is half full and we just need to fill it up.

THE SKY IS FALLING
Re: Robert Stacy McCain's Democrats Hit the Panic Button:

Thanks, Mr. McCain, for run down as we count down. I find myself humming "Isn't it rich, isn't it rare? Us with our feet on the ground -- B.O. in the air? Send in the Clowns, there ought to be clowns...don't bother, they're here."

Leon Panetta hit it right with his assessment that the campaign is in reactive mode right now. Here is proof:

Yesterday I was idling away time at the book table in Costco. I had moved down the aisle from two prominent stacks of The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father and noticed a small pile of Obama Nation. As I picked up a copy, a geezer type in a ragged T-shirt that read "Animal Lover" asked me if I intended to buy "that book." I told him if I did, the transaction would be between me and Costco and it was of no concern to him. He then asked me who I was voting for. I told him and he said I should be directing my attention to two of Obama's autobiographies and it would change my mind. I replied that people who have known me for 65 years don't know what is in my mind and it was doubtful that a two-minute encounter could shine a light into my soul for him. He persisted, saying I need to trust Obama. I said I do trust him. I trust him like Ronald Reagan trusted Gorbachev.

About then my husband hove into view, asked me what was going on. I told him, "This crazy old coot is electioneering on private property -- he's trying to block book sales and just look at his shirt! He belongs to some kind of Bestiality Club." Geezer looks puzzled. I go home to read my Obama Nation.

There are some pretty funny exposures of Obama lies. Axelrod (B.O's mouthpiece) explains Obama's ties with Bill Ayers -- "they lived in the same neighborhood -- their children went to the same school." Yeah, maybe twenty years apart. Obama's girls are elementary school students. Ayers' children are grown.

Reading about poor B.O.'s struggle with his blackness, seems he could have had smoother sailing if he had decided he was half white instead of black. Apparently the only way we can make it up to this troubled guy and assuage his torment at having first been abandoned by his black father and then abandoned a couple of times more by his white mother is to show him we understand the Black Man's Burden by giving him the White House. It is the least we can do. No, I think we can do less than that.

If he gets elected, will the "summer White House" be in Kenya? He seems to have an unusual longing for his African roots. For me, if I had gone home once and learned that my father was just a raving, egomaniacal sot who could not drive a car, I would not be eager to turn over many more ancestral stones than that.

I believe most will agree that this national election is the most important to our country in recent history. It most certainly is for me, and I am 81 years old. I personally see this as a contest between the two men running for President; although the Vice Presidential candidates do effect the way I see the country going. One of the presidential candidates has worked his way to a great education through hard work. The other candidate was put in a special high school in order to get a high school diploma. He did poorly. Because of family influence, he was given an appointment to Annapolis ahead of much more deserving young men. He finished fifth from the bottom in his class and showed a minimum of leadership skills. Because of family influence he gets into the pilot training program ahead of more deserving young men. He does poorly, crashes one plane and still graduates. He crashes two more planes, (probably pilot error) and still gets promoted ahead of others in his Annapolis class. One of the candidates has been married and faithful to the same women since they first walked down the aisle; the other admits to many affairs and divorced an ailing wife to marry another women. The winner of this election will have a chance to take America into the 21st century; through logic and reason.

If the evangelical right manage to elect the pampered Navy retiree; we can expect our education system to fall behind the rest of the world. Logic and reason can move us ahead. The evangelicals cannot see beyond their faith. Faith and truth are not compatible. The advances in science in the next four years are going to be truly amazing. I can only see our country leading the way if we elect the young man who worked for everything; to get to where he is today.

Even more uplifting than the McCain/Palin surge is the good news that in Congressional polling Republicans and Democrats are basically tied as to who the public want to see governing. The Democrat Congress that came to power in 2006 seems to be in trouble as the corrupt, unethical and do-nothing nature of Democrats is being revealed despite their media lapdogs attempted cover-up.

Hopefully, voters who swallowed Democrat propaganda in 2006 are choking on the liberal's lies and ready to put Republicans, albeit flawed, back in charge and get the country back to where it was before Democrats seized power.

Hillary and the Clintonistas must be near orgasmic as the shoddy messiah of "ludicrous change" is revealing that being an inept community organizer and dubious Constitutional law "professor" allied to a plagiarist with hair plugs may not be enough to win.

"Hillary seems less than eager to help Obama push back against the Palin phenomenon."
